Launched in 1953, 'Fifty Fathoms' is perhaps Blancpain's best known and longest serving watch still in production. It's one of the very first iconic divers – indeed, it came before both the 'Submariner' and 'Seamaster', and originally broke records with its astonishing 200m water resistance rating. A beautiful diving watch that effortlessly combines both elegance and sportiness, the brand states that the 'Fifty Fathoms' embodies Blancpain's passion for the underwater world. The watch was first made primarily for military contracts, and for decades it was the watch of choice for top divers and naval forces worldwide. Today, it remains an icon of diving history and is available in many wonderful incarnations. Pre-owned watches have a 24-month warranty from Watchfinder & Co. in conjunction with any remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
